Please no, somethings should not be combined; I like steak and I like ice cream but I don’t want my steak topped with ice cream.
A lot of the above could very well play into the interest of the NTTD track, so let's not use that too much into proclaiming it an instant classic. Maybe we should all give it some distance to see where it all falls. I'm one of the few who don't mind the Sam Smith track, but I was baffled to see it win an Oscar.
I liked NTTD a little better on my latest listen, but won't apologize for thinking it reminds me of Garbage's TWINE theme, one of my least favorites. I like the music more than the vocals this time around, which doesn't equate to my having any dislike for the vocalist. I'm also willing to keep an open mind and hope the keyword "grows" that so many others have posted about it can help my feelings about it. Bring on the title sequence.
We've had ballads, crooning, rock, pop, dance, MOR, indie rock, R'n'B... I don't see why a hip hop track wouldn't work. There's an awful lot of variance within the world of hip hop: it doesn't even necessarily mean losing the brassy stuff or singing.
MakeshiftPython posted he liked the TND song by Cheryl Crrow, then Matt007 wrote, he preferred a TND song by Sheryl Crow. Got it now? ;) B-) :bz It's like David Bowie and Derek Bowie.
"GoldenEye" and "Die Another Day" are the only Brosnan era songs I like.
I would say the same concerning Country Western, and Polka.
I think a country song could work: I’d even say something like Nobody Does it Better has a lean towards a country feel. You’re being silly with Polka.
Do you listen to much hip hop?
Okay, so you DON'T like Sheryl Crow's TND and you DON'T like Cheryl Crow's version either, right? :D ;) :bz :-h
Enough to know that I don't think it, like country western , suits Bond.
I agree. I think Bond music transcends genres. Hip hop, country, etc could all feasibly work if it compliments the style and tone for a particular film.
I’m not sure what do with this statement. Is this a joke?
That's why I said 'Be careful what you wish for'...it wasn't my idea....just asking Members who said they want a Hip hop or Country Bond theme, if they're sure about what they want.
After all, when Billie Eilish was approached for a Bond song she didn't deliver another "Bad Guy", she adopted to a sound that was more fitting for Bond and at the same time remaining true to her style of music.
Response: Oh, we got BOTH kinds. We got Country AND Western!
He had the foresight to go after Eilish for this and it paid off. The whining over the song is pointless. It is a HUGE HIT. Win win win for NTTD, EON, and CJF.
If you don't like the song don't listen to it. Plug your ears during the titles.
I wonder if she's performing the song on GMA for US audiences, then jetting off to the UK for the Brit Awards?
According to her Instagram stories, Billie is already in London. Plus, tomorrow is the day of the actual Brits......I assume this is a pre-recorded interview.
Plus the Brits have already proclaimed that they have the 'exclusive' first performance of NTTD. So don't expect any live performance.
I'd assume that we may get some kind of pre-recorded interview OR perhaps the music video!!!
A cool cover
I only imagine the terror inflicted when a Country artist lays hands on a Bond theme. The likes of Rita Coolidge, Sheryl Crow or kd lang can do no good...
Do you know, @mtm, I was thinking exactly the same myself about 'Nobody Dies it Better' when I was listening to it on the compilation CD of the Bond themes in my car. I thought it had a rather country inflection at times in the tune. Funnily enough, I don't think I'd ever really noticed that as much before as on my most recent listens. I'm not sure a full country song would work though as a Bond theme unless they adapted the Western aspects ('Spectreville' and Seraffimo Spang) of the DAF novel at some point!
Country/folk rock singers who crossed over to adult rock; their roots are not found in their Bond songs.
I actually like all three of their songs , although Crowe was not up for the more strenuous parts of TND.
Well, it was rejected...
